Thanks for the help guys. Since I have already done it, I will dirty it up and see how it goes at that point. If I need to change them out at a later time then I can.

Rob that's exactly what mine looks like! There was no way I could shim it all in the back being that big of a gap, so it is 40mm in the front and around 65mm in the back. As long as it gets approved, I'm good. Unfortunately I used CA glue, so ripping it apart would be a difficult thing to do.

Working on my MTK but had an issue with the finishing strip size for the thighs. I have some monster thighs and to go to the edges of the front, the strip ended up being about 40mm. Would this be approved?

Also, the kidney plate and shoulders, have return edges?

What grit sandpaper is usually used?

love the MTK armor! heavy duty and accurate from what I have seen and what other squad members have stated. The customer service has been great as well. i'm 6'1", 205lbs and for my body size, this is a great fit. I would consider it. Hey im in the same position as you, just trying to learn here!

Awesome! Thanks for the input

Is this how you are saying to add the return edge? I cut out most of the abs but left a little lip there for the "edge." it is around 2 millimeters. not sure if you can tell or not.

Not quite. I'll need to grab the scissors cause I literally stabbed myself in the chest and didn't know it! I'm educated, but not smart it seems! I'll post some pics tonight to see if I know what you are talking about. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the help! I think I am understanding the concept now. I took a cut of one of the pieces and left a couple millimeter lip for this purpose. It would seem this is all that would be required and not have to use a heat gun to bend it down. Yes this is the first build of actual armor, got a tusken done, and very excited, but very nervous to start. Don't want to cut too much and have to buy new pieces. Already had a slip of the razor and ended up wounded in the chest!

Alright, I just got in my MTK armor and had an issue on return edges. I watch Mikes videos, he cuts the armor where there is no return edge left, however I see numerous individuals here creating them. One, is it mandatory to have a retun edge and what are the benefits and downsides to a retun edge. Also, my armor needs much trimming. Could I not just leave a few millimeter lip on the trimming to work as a return edge? Thanks guys and sorry about simpleton questions!
